Hmm, I read that the ICH8 supports PECI (in the kernel documents for the ehf driver) however I never read anything about ICH7 supporting it...in either case I'm not very familiar with it. > Jordan, meanwhile, could you post your current BIOS version?

I made sure the driver didn't get loaded. I did a diff on the dumps, it does seem that the output changes, although I'm assuming this could be the voltages/temperatures/etc which are changing, so I'm not going to make any assumptions just yet. bios is 7.3b7 infact it seems i'm one version out of date. it doesn't even list 7.3 on their official bios page here, which is strange... http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=267 and here are the isadumps: smart fan in bios off: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 00: 04 ff 04 7f 03 00 00 00 01 01 01 01 3c 3c 0a 0a 10: 04 ff 00 00 00 01 01 3c 42 17 00 00 ff ff ff c4 20: 99 ec cd cd ff b5 c3 22 3a 12 35 da 00 96 18 9e 30: 5b 44 34 04 60 38 b6 0f 23 51 08 87 a4 2a 05 ff 40: 01 2e 1f fe ff ff 01 05 2d 00 00 04 58 95 00 a3 50: ff ff 00 ff ff ff 00 80 c1 70 ff ff 19 e5 04 05 60: 04 7f 40 00 01 01 3c ff 01 ff 01 ff ff ff ff ff 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 80: 04 ff 04 7f 03 00 00 00 01 01 01 01 3c 3c 0a 0a 90: 04 ff 00 00 00 01 01 3c 42 17 00 00 ff ff ff c6 a0: 99 ec cd cd ff b5 c3 22 3a 12 35 da 00 96 18 9e b0: 5b 44 34 04 60 38 b6 0f 23 51 08 87 a4 2a 05 ff c0: 01 00 10 fe ff ff 01 05 2d 00 00 04 58 95 00 a3 d0: ff ff 00 ff ff ff 00 80 c1 70 ff ff 19 e5 04 05 e0: 04 7f 40 00 01 01 3c ff 01 ff 01 ff ff ff ff ff f0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff smart fan in bios on: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f 00: 04 ff 04 7f 03 00 00 00 01 01 01 01 3c 3c 0a 0a 10: 04 ff 00 00 00 01 01 3c 42 17 00 00 ff ff ff c8 20: 98 ec cd cd ff b5 c3 22 38 27 34 da 00 9e 18 9e 30: 1b 44 34 04 60 78 96 1f 23 51 08 86 a4 2a 04 ff 40: 01 6e 1f fe ff ff 01 05 2d 00 00 04 58 95 00 a3 50: ff ff 00 ff ff ff 00 80 c1 70 ff ff 19 e5 04 05 60: 04 7f 40 00 01 01 3c ff 01 ff 01 ff ff ff ff ff 70: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 80: 04 ff 04 7f 03 00 00 00 01 01 01 01 3c 3c 0a 0a 90: 04 ff 00 00 00 01 01 3c 42 17 00 00 ff ff ff ca a0: 98 ec cd cd ff b5 c3 22 38 28 34 da 00 9e 18 9e b0: 1b 44 34 04 60 78 96 1f 23 51 08 86 a4 2a 04 ff c0: 01 00 10 fe ff ff 01 05 2d 00 00 04 58 95 00 a3 d0: ff ff 00 ff ff ff 00 80 c1 70 ff ff 19 e5 04 05 e0: 04 7f 40 00 01 01 3c ff 01 ff 01 ff ff ff ff ff f0: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff As far as I can tell, voltages/temperatures/etc are all working correctly. Although I did initially have an issue with 3 temperature sensors showing up, where as my bios only shows 2. I'm guessing this motherboard just doesn't use the one, so it was constantly reporting ridiculous values. I just added an ignore line in my sensors.conf for that.
